3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Congenital sucrose-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a rare, genetic disease in which mutations in the sucrose-isomaltase (SI) gene cause digestion problems of sucrose resulting in diarrhea and abdominal pain. Children with chronic, idiopathic diarrhea or abdominal pain will have their sucrose-isomaltase gene assessed for a panel of known CSID mutations to determine the prevalence of these mutations in an enriched population and also determine functional deficiency using a breath test.
This is a Phase 4, U.S. only, multi-center study using a 7-day therapeutic response dose (TRD) of commercial Sucraid® to assess the response of treatment in 1100 symptomatic pediatric (6 months to 17 years old) subjects with low, moderate, and normal sucrase activity determined by a disaccharidase assay via EGD within 1 year of the Screening Visit. This study will also explore the relationship between known genetic CSID mutations and sucrase activities via (EGD) disaccharidase assay (low, moderate, and normal).
An adult pilot study to establish the normal reference range and optimal cutoffs for the oral 50g Sucrose Challenge Test (SCT) and the 50g 13C-Sucrose Breath Test (CBT) for patients with CSID and healthy controls. This study will enroll 120 healthy controls and 50 CSID patients. No study drug will be administered during this study.
